The Summons

New Exciting Series from Award-winning Author MaryLu Tyndall surrounding the myth of the Ring of Solomon!

All aboard for a spine-tingling tale of dark vs. light, good vs. evil set amid the search for the legendary Ring of Solomon, whose sinister powers entangle hero and heroine, pirates and Jesuits—and even the Pope—in a dangerous quest akin to a seaworthy Raiders of the Lost Ark. With her usual mastery, Ms. Tyndall has penned a breathless love story that will shiver your pulse and steal your sleep as only a true pirate can. —Julie Lessman, award-winning author of The Daughters of Boston, Winds of Change, Isle of Hope, and The Cousins O'Connor series

Emeline Hyde is the runt of the litter. Especially in comparison to her incredibly talented and comely siblings and heroic parents. She longs for a hero like her father to come and sweep her off her feet and give her the romantic adventure her parents had. She longs to find her place in life, her God-given purpose. But instead she finds herself taken from the only security she's ever known by a man who is as far from a hero as night is from day.

Captain Blake Keene has one goal in life—to rule over his own kingdom. It is the only way to avoid the bruises of betrayal and abuse he's suffered for so long. Hence, when he hears about the Ring of Solomon from an old Jewish pirate and tracks it down, he plans on using it to gain the power and wealth he craves.  

The Jesuits, on command of the Pope, are after the infamous Ring. In an effort to distract them, Blake slips it into a missionary woman's pocket, only to put her in danger when the Jesuits discover his ruse. Now, he has no choice but to steal her away.

The Ring is more powerful than he expected. The woman not at all like he expected. With Jesuits on the chase and demons haunting him, Blake soon discovers that Emeline holds a power that far surpasses any relic from the past.

Swashbuckling adventure, heart-pounding romance, and a thread of hope that shines through every storm—this book had me hooked from the first cannon blast. A cinematic tale of redemption and love on the high seas, perfect for fans of inspirational fiction with grit and grace. The Summons needs to be a movie!
